Rush Gold Corp. Samples 2,770 g/t Silver and 2.4 g/t Gold at Legal Tender, Extends Skylight Property Gold Trend to 1.2 Km and Announces Non-Brokered Financing (TheNewswire) VANCOUVER, BC, March 11, 2026 – TheNewswire - Rush Gold Corp. (“Rush” or the “Company”) (CSE: RGN | OTCQB: RGNCF | FSE: B6H) is pleased to announce results of 2025 surface rock geochemical sampling completed at its Legal Tender and Skylight properties. The Legal Tender and Skylight properties are five kilometres apart, and both are located approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Tonopah, Nevada within the Royston Hills Republic Mining District, Nye County. The 2025 Phase 1 geologic reconnaissance was designed to advance known gold and silver rock showings and ground truth satellite derived alteration anomalies (see the Company’s news release dated December 16, 2025). Rock geochemical sample results summarized below include the highest-grade silver value returned to date at Legal Tender, in addition to expansion of the Skylight gold trend to 1.2 km. Of the 94 rock grab samples collected within the Legal Tender (60) and Skylight (34) properties, a total of 9 samples returned greater than 0.1 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and up to 2.41 g/t Au (Legal Tender); in addition to 9 samples greater than 20 g/t silver (Ag) and up to 2,770 g/t Ag (81 ounces/ton at Legal Tender). Highlights of the recently completed surface rock sampling are as follows: Highest grade silver assay returned to date at Legal Tender of 2,770 g/t Ag (81 ounces/ton), in addition to 292 g/t Ag, and 105 g/t Ag; in addition to gold assays of 1 g/t Au and 2.41 g/t Au at the Hyland Target. Current and historic rock sampling cements the Hyland target as the priority drill target within the Legal Tender Property, with a combined 400 metre northwest trending strike length, exhibiting laterally persistent vein system development exploited by numerous historic exploration pits and inclined shafts. Widespread anomalous gold and silver values were returned from the Skylight Property over a 1.2 km north-south trend, which included: 0.23 g/t Au and 4.8 g/t Ag; 0.1 g/t Au and 3.8 g/t Ag; 0.19 g/t Au and 2.7 g/t Ag; and 0.13 g/t Au. Gold-silver assays within the Skylight Property are associated with elevated arsenic values, and visible hydrothermal clay-kaolinite alteration, quartz veining and brecciated felsic rhyolite volcanic rocks consistent with a high-level low sulphidation epithermal environment. In addition, the Company confirms that it has received the final WorldView-3 (WV-3) satellite alteration imagery processing report from PhotoSat. The Company’s technical team is currently integrating rock grab assays announced today with surface rock visible and short wave infra-red (VIS-SWIR) hyperspectral TerraSpec® analysis, and WV-3 satellite alteration imagery. The result of this combined study is expected to expand existing gold silver targets and identify new exploration opportunities for additional ground follow up. A comprehensive review and integration of surface rock and satellite alteration targets is expected to be released in the coming weeks. “With the release of the initial rock sample results, the Company has advanced near term drill targets on both the Skylight and Legal Tender properties," says Anthony Zelen, CEO of Rush Gold. He continues, “At Legal Tender we have identified a laterally persistent high grade silver-base metals vein system, which lends itself to potential delineation by surface drilling. At Skylight the assays demonstrate the presence of what the Company believes may be the upper reaches of a widespread gold-primary hydrothermal system. We look forward now to turning attention to the drill permitting process and integrating additional results from the WV-3 alteration study.” Table 1: Legal Tender and Skylight Properties Significant Rock Assay Results Sample ID Property Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Cu (%) Pb (%) Zn (%) E07102 Legal Tender - 25 - - 0.09 E07121 0.19 105 - - - E07153 0.11 167 - - - E07172 1.01 2,770 0.21 0.47 0.23 E07176 - 39 - - 0.07 E07206 - 48 - - - E07207 0.37 787 0.10 0.76 1.28 E07253 2.41 292 0.10 0.08 0.02 E07254 - 29 - - 0.05 E07116 Skylight 0.23 5 - - - E07129 0.13 0 - - - E07137 0.10 4 - - - E07140 0.19 3 - - - Figure 1: Skylight and Legal Tender Properties 2025 Rock Sample Assay Results (Silver) Click Image To View Full Size Figure 2: Skylight and Legal Tender Properties 2025 Rock Sample Assay Results (Gold) Click Image To View Full Size Methodology and QA/QC The analytical work reported on herein was performed by ALS Global (“ALS”), Kamloops, Canada.
